Seriously this has got to be one of the best live FTM vids on youtube.... so fucking awsome. You should be commended for taking this footage

[Tryptonique]

@berserker96 I really appreciate that. Personally, my opinion is a little different. I think the reason why it is a good video is because the audio is awesome and the band gives a great live performance. Compared to my other videos, it is mediocre, because I was *super* new to filming and I just kinda stood in one place. If I see 'em again, I'll get video that blows this out of the water. I guarantee it.

man, this crowd looks bored.. so maybe they thought they were seeing Katy Perry or something because why else would they just stand there and not get into FTM?? I mean, unless your there to see a COMPLETELY different band, they should get into it a little.. their not going to be judged for dancing or jumping around.. FTM doesn't play there that much, this must be why.. and it must also be why they come to Flint ALL the time. The Machine Shop is your second home guys.

@buickcityfilms2010 Everyone was there to see dredg and really had no idea who these guys were. It isn't exactly like FTM are a "big" band, you know? I mean, dredg isn't really either, but you know what I mean. FTM made a lot of fans that night, though. Nobody knew these songs and you kinda gotta be a disingenuous ass to go nuts for songs you don't know.

The way he "dances around" show's how fully immersed he is in his music. I ADMIRE him for it.

[Tryptonique]

@KayeoticNeutral I can agree with that. He's completely unselfconscious and I love how he has this feral and unhinged quality that you rarely see in musicians. Another example of what I'm talking about who had that particular quality was like 80's-early 90's Axl Rose.

holy fuck i love this band

[rockmusictilldeath]

Respond to this video...  I swear every time I listen to just one song from them I fall in love once again. Their songs NEVER get old for me.

[bobzilla83]

i've actually met both andruh ?...the singer, and cliff, one of the geetar guys, and those two are possibly the coolest, most down to earth rockers out there.... oh, and their music's REALLY good, too!

[KayeoticNeutral]

@btbamdep Very true!

[btbamdep]

@KayeoticNeutral Yea exactly. I agree. Daryl Palumbo from Glassjaw is the same way. Very cathartic and unpredictable on stage with tons of antics. I've seen them over 15 times and every single show was a different experience. That's a true artist.

[cidmenow]

defintly one of my fav. songs of the new Cd....

[KayeoticNeutral]

@Tryptonique Exactly. I think it is a powerful thing when someone can just let the music take them over without regard to anything or anyone else. And, like you said, it's a rarity that you get to see someone with that quality anymore. Never seen an Axl Rose performance, but it's always good to know people truly care about their music and not just the money and glory that sometimes comes along with it. Fame sometimes ruins bands, in fact...
